Description

An illustrated, imaginative exploration of future technology and science for children that carries a message of hope and optimism The Children's Book of the Future is a narrative non-fiction book that offers an inclusive and hopeful vision of the future, with a diverse, multicultural approach that will appeal to children of all backgrounds. The book consists of eighteen stories that each take inspiration from current scientific research. They present engaging, optimistic futures that could result from real-world science, with insets delving into how that science works. The book is highly illustrated throughout to make complex ideas more accessible, and depict the wondrous futures that could be ahead. Some of the diverse visions explored include a plane ride on one of Saturn's moons, a journey to a faraway star that is lightyears from Earth, life on a floating city, and living amongst robots. In short, the book sets out to reclaim the future for current and future generations of children.
